Re: First-time boat buyers are in decline, and retention rates are shrinking

Banks are no longer financing anything with a heartbeat, you now have to qualify. Cost of living compared to income ratio is too out of wack. Lack of boat storage.

Check your engine height with the new lower and goods. Is it up too high? Then, check to see where your transducer is in comparison to the water intake, it may be throwing dirty water (air) into your water intake due to the ending height.
